C.Carol Akerson 1964 - a japhet style orchid

[Carmella.carey]

Now, NEslipper, has me beat for classic whites, but here's a different type.
This is good example of what in the cut flower industry was known as a "Royal" or a "Japhet orchid".
A bifoliate spices crossed with something from the bow bells line. They were smaller, more waxy and almost pure white.

Shown is Kensington's C.Carol Akerson 1964 (intermedia x Patterson's C.Dorthy Mackaill) 12.7cm. NS

Patrick, nice blooms.

I wish your flower pics were more higher resolution. What camera are you using? It looks like older Kodak pic style. Maybe a more neutral background?

Beautiful! Love the soft yellow in the throat. Looks like 4 blooms?

In my not so humble opinion Classic whites will never go out vogue.

Just whatever camera is on my amazon tablet.
I agree I need a better background, but the greenhouse usually has such good light.
